Hurrah Rebecca Adlington

I have nothing but admiration for Rebecca. My only criticism is why should she be daft enough to go on Celebrity Jungle?

Having said that no one can criticise her she is a GOD! A very small number of people like her are Superhuman, yes not a Supermodel but actually a SUPER ROLE model. 

Anyone who gets up 7 days a week at silly times to train in a pool then wins medals for her country at the pinnacle Olympic games is definitely so high up in achievement she must be Superhuman and thus a GOD!

Anyone less than that CANNOT criticise her. You should ALL be ashamed and banished to the black hole! 

I am not linking to eother Celebrity or any news articles as they do not need more oxygen, they are themselves ridiculous!

Surfing keeps you young

Its official the silver surfers  (over 50's) are keeping themselves young by using the internet and things like Facebook

Your writer here is one of those. Why can't we use technology?

Keeps us going eh?

Teaching kids programming

Kids today love their gadgets, computers and smartphones but do they understand how they work?

I agree it would be ideal to get children to understand how computers etc. work but it just is not going to happen. I also agree that we've got to embrace the information age and "social media" not fight it but children need to learn the discipline of frittering time away on Facebook and twitter. They do need to learn.

How? I know my 2 year old grand daughter can use an iPAD better than me to play games and watch Postman Pat but is she learning? Yes. Later on using the technology will be intuitive to her so then she can move on to learning. Its technological evolution. The teachers just haven't caught up.

Think, how would you explain Televison or the internet to Isambard Kingdom Brunel? Our most brilliant engineer of all time. He was building things with unheard of technology in his time. Even he couldn't explain how it worked he just DID IT! 

That's what kids will do with new technolgy of the 21st century. Don't fight it, EMBRACE it.
